The assessment in this course is designed to measure the development of students' language skills based on the objectives of the A2 level. It will combine continuous and final assessments to provide a comprehensive picture of the progress made in the four main skills: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The grade is divided into three parts:

  1. Continuous assessment (33%)
    The continuous assessment will track the development of students' language skills throughout the course. It will consist of various activities and exercises that reflect the practical application of the knowledge acquired.

  2. Midterm assessment (33%)
    A midterm assessment will be conducted halfway through the course (January) to review progress and identify areas that need improvement.

  3. Final assessment (33%)
    The final assessment will be conducted at the end of the course and will evaluate the students' ability to use the skills they have acquired independently.
    To pass the ROMAB100 course, a minimum score of 10/20 must be obtained in the final assessment.
